Why she chose NC State - “The reason I chose NC State to finish my career is because of the beautiful campus and the coaching staff. Playing against Coach Patrick-Swift and Coach Swift a lot last year, I witnessed a large portion of their coaching style on the field and am really looking forward to playing for them. I’m also looking forward to playing with new teammates and being apart of the Wolfpack family. Everything happens for a reason, and because of that, NC State is the place that I’m meant to finish my career at.”
